You have two options, here. You can have three different checks for the host, so if one goes down you know exactly which one it is. you could also use check_nt!PROCSTATE to scan more than one process--I use this for our A/V server, as it has three processes running as well.

I have NRPE on the server and NSClient++ on the Windows boxes and monitoring various processname.exe's but not watching for 3 same exe's like your OP. The windows side is stupidly easy, the linux side is more difficult, but I have them scripted out and working configs to pull from.
